With this loan, I'll be able to reactivate my bank account, allowing me to connect it to internet platforms like fiverr.com and PayPal. Furthermore, by repaying this Pay it Forward loan, I will be able to have a positive impact on the community by assisting other entrepreneurs in the same way that you have assisted me, as well as having the potential to invite new members.

Hello my dear lenders,
I want to keep update as to the reasons why I have not made my two previous repayments, as you maybe aware that, zambia as country we hold general elections on August 12, 2021. The election was peaceful despite some few challenges in some parts of the especially northwestern province where we lost one life from the patriotic front part.
From Thursday to date we have not been working and shops in town are closed where we can buy some other essentials in order to wind the work so that we can be paid by our customers and because of enteruption we are not able to make repayments. Apologize for the encoveninces this may have caused on part. We promise to continue making repayments as soon as the situation is calm and business is back to normal.
We are making alot of progress with the little we have in our disposal, it is getting greater and better.
Thanks to my Backers, the likes of JOSHI United States and others , the Entire Zidisha Team, You are all Amazing.
BETTER DAYS AHEAD.
